Ah, so that's what you look like normally. Handsome fellows. I couldn't recognise you since you shaved off that stringy moustache you had in your profile pic. That pic is so cool, you'd better watermark it so no one plagiarises it for a Calvin Klein or "This is what alcohol will do to you" ads.

Thanks! I'm quite interested in aquascaping. Take a look at this for some inspiration :) http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/index.html

I was looking through the different spots and noticed one that was quite familiar. I called my mate and it was a tree in his backyard lol. So I am getting some leaves on Friday. Thanks Keego.

Introducing your judges for the weekend, we're all ready to get on the plane & start licking windows!

Hi Mike, Nice setup. The only way to culture more biofilm is to add more bacteria. Bacterial additives will help. A hundred shrimp in a 29G will always need supplement to their feeding. Biofilm alone won't be enough. Feed specialized shrimp food so they get enough food, not just biofilm.

Thanks for the welcome. My name is Mike and I am an Aquarium Addict....... I hail from Martinsville VA in the US. I came to this forum because I saw a lot of high end quality information posted here. Thanks for having me. Mike

We should name this algaearium.

Looks great..... Will look even better in a few months

If paludarium counts, don't forget about riparium!

Looks amazing considering doing a nano similar to that myself

Its gbangarang! You cant the similarity to my profile pic? Lol

I didn't realise that postal entries were accepted so I didn't read the entry requirements. I have some really nice CBS but probably a bit small for this year. Hopefully I can enter next year. Those judges look a bit Suss to me look out Victoria!

Nice tanks Shrimpmaster. I'm interested in seeing the back of those tanks, where have you run your filter intake and outflow tubes? Ugly tubing ruins a clean scape, but yours seem to be invisible.

Really nice man.

Algae

It was nice and needed to grow indeed, but just Wood and Fissidens Fox was to simple for me. I only have one aquascape tank and just starting, so this was the first test. Now I want to learn more about growing a green carpet and all kind of plants that should fit in a nano. But when I would have more tanks in a row, one like this would be cool too. Urbanaquaria has some very nice clean aquascapes. I also was inspired by this one: This is also a nice clean example form someone else:

I did it a few months ago. It was very nice, but also kinda boring. So now I started over with rocks and plants. This was just the beginning phase. At this moment I have a lot more plants already.

All set up!
